After perusing through many podcasts, here are some that I've found that relate to my teaching areas. One of the general things that I've noticed is that it takes a while to get a podcast going. Most podcast speakers spend time introducing themselves and explain their purpose in detail before they get to the meat of the discussion. I may have been hoping to hear the point a little sooner because I've been trying to peruse a good subsection of podcasts.
It was interesting to hear "Dan" explain negative integers, prime numbers, and misuses of decimals and percentages. To be honest, I found it really hard to listen to Dan as he spoke about Math. I really cannot learn math in this way--I need to visually see it.

I also listened to a podcast on how to apply my lessons using the SMART board, an interactive tool that I use often. This one was much like a radio show, with multiple people being interviewed.

And to continue my "nerdy" exploration, I listened to another radio podcast on evolution. How exciting! I really liked this one. I think the tone and inflection of the speakers really helped in this podcast. In fact, there was a huge list of these podcasts labelled Ms Chiens Science class podcast. (I guess they're a series)

One more on genes playing a critical role in gender. These are high school teachers (believe it or not) posting daily tidbits of new info. This person's voice was borrring! But, since I actually caught the premise, it was really interesting.

That's enough podcasting searching for tonight!
That's all for now.
